CloudWok

Our Mission

If you want to share files, you should not have to figure out a way to let others upload or send their files to you. CloudWok solves this problem for you: let other people with different or no cloud storage accounts upload files straight into your cloud storage, i.e., into your Dropbox folder, Google Drive folder, or Amazon S3 bucket.

CloudWok and the Cloud

Today pretty much everybody owns some cloud storage. Highly integrated solutions allow you to keep all your data in one location, always accessible from everywhere and every device. But one limitation remains - the people that you would like to engage with may not utilize the same cloud as you do.CloudWok offers a simple way to expand the capabilities of your cloud. With CloudWok anyone can upload data into your cloud storage. CloudWok even enables users to collaborate and share files across the boundaries of single cloud storages!

Code

We believe that information is free and should face no boundaries. CloudWok is built for users and developers who want to use their own cloud storage freely and without any limits.

Our Story

"After a trip with friends we wanted to share our photos and got stuck. We had accounts with different cloud storage services. Some didn't have a cloud storage account at all. Sending via email was not an option and nobody agreed on weird file sharing tools. So I sat down and coded EntourageBox basically over night."

Michael Menzel, founder of EntourageBox.com and co-founder of CloudWok.com

"In 2015, we launched the next generation of our upload-to-cloud service under the new name CloudWok. CloudWok is set up on top of cloud infrastructure with servers in data centers in the US west coast, US east coast, Europe, Japan, and Australia. The new infrastructure setup is designed to be better scalable and more resilient, and provide users with better upload performance. All in-transit data that passes our servers is end-to-end encrypted, and servers are secured with strict firewall and intrusion detection mechanisms."

Markus Klems, co-founder of CloudWok.com
